High voltage connector

Abstract

A high voltage connector ( 1 ) includes: a connector housing ( 2 ) formed of a high rigid material, and having a terminal housing portion ( 3 ) in which both sides are partitioned by a first partition wall ( 5 ) and a second partition wall ( 6 ), an engaging protrusion ( 7 ) provided on the first partition wall ( 5 ) side, and a tapered rib ( 8 ) that is provided on the second partition wall ( 6 ) side and is inclined in a direction of gradually protruding into the terminal housing portion ( 3 ) as going from an inlet side of the terminal housing portion ( 3 ) toward a depth of the terminal housing portion ( 3 ); and a terminal ( 10 ) to be housed in the terminal housing portion ( 3 ).

The invention claimed is: 
     
       1. A high voltage connector comprising:
 a connector housing formed of a high rigid material, and including a terminal housing portion in which both sides are partitioned by a first partition wall and a second partition wall, an engaging protrusion provided on the first partition wall side, and a tapered rib that is provided on the second partition wall side and is inclined in a direction of gradually protruding into the terminal housing portion as going from an inlet side of the terminal housing portion toward a depth of the terminal housing portion; and 
 a terminal to be housed in the terminal housing portion. 
 
     
     
       2. The high voltage connector according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the connector housing includes a straight rib provided on the first partition wall side, and 
 a protruding amount of the straight rib is set at a dimension equal to or larger than a protruding amount of the engaging protrusion. 
 
     
     
       3. The high voltage connector according to  claim 1 , wherein the terminal has a first notched portion for receiving entrance of the tapered rib. 
     
     
       4. The high voltage connector according to  claim 2 , wherein the terminal has a second notched portion for receiving entrance of the straight rib.
